The Good Girl's Revenge

"Mom, you've slept for a long time. I was scared.”

"I'm sorry baby. This won't happen again. I promise.” Nora held him tighter.

Although she had known that Easton was her son, she had not regained her memory, and it was different now. She could clearly feel how hard it was to give birth to the little guy in her arms

No matter what happened between her and Derek, Easton was her son, a soft spot in her heart.

If it was possible, she really didn't want to leave Easton, but...

At this moment, Derek came over, "I heard from the butler that you are coming downstairs. Are you feeling well? You must tell me if you feel unwell."

As he spoke, he sat beside her, ready to hold her. Nora subconsciously avoided him, and Derek's smile froze.

The atmosphere between the two of them was inexplicably oppressive.

The butler at the side saw this and immediately took the little guy away. Although Easton did not know what was going on, he could feel that something was wrong between his mom and dad. "Nora, what's wrong with you? Did what happened last time scare you? It's all my fault. I was late. You can rest assured that this won't happen again,” Derek looked at her.

Listening to his patient and soft words, Nora's nose was sore. She could not suppress her resentment. She took a deep breath and looked at him expressionlessly.

"Derek, I'm not Nora. You should call me Meredith."

A simple sentence made Derek freeze in place.

He did not expect her to regain her memory so soon. If it was before, he hoped that Meredith would remember what happened before and their feelings for each other.

But now...

When he thought of the distance and the indifference in Meredith's tone since she woke up, Derek felt a sense of panic.

"Nora, no, Meredith, you, you remembered, that's great, I..."

Derek spoke in a sad tone. For the first time, a powerful man like Derek was so flustered and stuttering.

"Why? Aren't you happy? Do you want my memory back or not? Why do I feel you don't seem very happy?" Meredith said coolly.

"How could that be? Meredith, I'm so happy that you could remember our past.”

"Our past? Is our past a wonderful memory? Why don't I know..." The corners of Nora's mouth curled up in sarcasm.

Derek froze and panicked. He pulled her over and held her shoulders, "Meredith, what do you mean by that?"

"What do I mean? Don't you know?"

"Did you forget what your the Xaviers did to me, what your mother did to me, and what you did to me? Oh, or did you lose your memory about our past when I regained?"

Nora looked at him coldly. The secret affection in Nora's eyes was gone.

Derek was speechless in the face of her questioning. Looking into her indifferent eyes, he felt flustered. He had the feeling that the woman he loved was right in front of him, but he could not have her.

He suddenly held Meredith in his arms and hugged her tightly, "Meredith, I'm sorry. I know it was all my fault before, but you have to believe me. My feelings for you have never changed.”

"I know that no matter what I explain the purpose of what I did before. The damage is here, but I've long regretted it."

"Meredith, I really regret it. I shouldn't have hurt your heart in the name of protecting you. Can you forgive me?”

"What's done is done. I swear that no matter what happens in the future, I will stand by your side firmly. Please give me another chance to make up for it."

"I was wrong. I'm sorry.”

Derek hugged Meredith tightly, buried his head in her neck, and apologized like a child, afraid that the woman he loved would disappear.

Nora did not struggle and slowly closed her eyes, "Derek, do you know what I was thinking when I regained my memory?"

"I swore, this time, I must keep distance with you so that I can live a stable and happy life as long as I am far away from you."

"I'm only in my twenties. I was so young when I first met you, but because I met you, I lost my freedom twice."

"I went to jail because of you, and because of you, your mother locked me up on an island when I was pregnant. Your the Xaviers is powerful, and I can't fight with you."

"But at the very least, I can control my feelings.”

Every word of Meredith's was like a knife, piercing into his chest. The pain was violent. He opened his mouth slightly but found himself unable to refute her.

But he had to, he had to say something, otherwise, the woman in his arms would leave him. This was a scene that Derek would not want it to happen.

"Meredith, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I'm begging you, don't deny me and our past so quickly. Give me another chance.”

"Think about Easton. Think about our son. I'm not threatening you. I'm begging you. For Easton's sake, give me another chance.”

"I promise you that what happened in the past will never happen again. Whether it's the Xaviers, my mother, or anyone else, it won't be a hindrance to us."

"Trust me once, give me a chance to make things right, Meredith...”

Meredith listened to his almost choked voice and felt his strong arms trembling slightly. She bit her lips and smiled bitterly in her heart.

Recalling what she had suffered before, she thought that she could have forced herself to leave him, and she could finally control her feelings, but now it seemed that she was too naive.

Her heart told her that she could not remain unmoved in the face of Derek's pleading

She knew very well that it had nothing to do with her son. Because of this, she felt pathetic for herself and for falling in love with Derek.

But even so, she had no intention of forgiving him. There were too many problems between them. The past had not been cleared up, and she could not agree to be with Derek easily this time. She didn't want to fail herself again.

"Derek, it's too early to say this. We still have a lot of unfinished business between us, your mother. She made it impossible for me and Easton to be together. I won't forgive her."
